ISO: Cook-out Related stuff!! (explanation inside)

[XUfan]

OK...here's the story...

Our nephews (hubby's brother's kids) are coming into town for their summer visit with their dad. It's become a yearly tradition that a cook-out is held at our house, when the boys are here...and all of the relatives show up to say, "Wow! They've gotten big!"

Anyway....we're planning it for July 15 (rain date July 22)...and I need help!!! I need to do this as cheaply as possible, so I'm looking for any coupons and/or WTs that will help me accomplish my task! We're on a super-tight budget this year, but this is very important to the boys and to our daughter...so we'll make it work!

Please Don't suggest:
1.) To have everyone bring something. I learned from past experience that that theory doesn't work AT ALL with hubby's family!!
2.) That their father should either have the cookout or finance it. That ain't happening!!

So, I'm looking for:

Soda coupons
Ice (I think there are WTs for this)
Chips (anything...we're not picky!)
Dips
Buns
Hot dogs, hamburger
Ice cream
Brownie and/or cookie mix (Betty Crocker cookie mix, etc.)
Deli Salads
napkins
Anything else you can think of, that I might have forgotten

I have lots of coupons and some rebate forms. I also have a couple of the Shrek tokens and Pirate coins from Kellogg's. LMK what you need! I can also do potlucks...or possibly stamps as a last resort.

If you got this far...thanks for reading this!! :Wave:

Thanks!! Yes my stores double up to .50. They will also take anythng that's .51-.99 and make it a dollar...if that makes sense. So, anything that's worth .50 or more, is worth a dollar to me.
